Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £127.2 million contract requiring large-scale infrastructure delivery, integration with complex existing systems, nationwide capability, and sustained operation over many years: most small builders, electricians, and cleaners will lack the scale, capital investment, technical depth, and track record this demands.
